About time this gets released! You did great work tracking all the changes from the promo screenshots etc. and then replicating the old setup.The work with fonts is also very neat, and was apparently tedious!

well - nice! I'm more fond of first Carma, but was always admiring updated universe while looking at promo screens in ads at PC Gamer over and over again (obviously they were stating not the true content of the final version but they looked darn good).Maybe this pack will return me this feeling of a brand new game

Keyboard bindings - it keep the bug form C2 - we can't rebind F1 key (it's in use twice).The setup C and D are the same - which I think is nice to set for laptops (WSAD, arrows).

About the game - look a bit like C2 ;), but something is strange, I need to try it more...

Cheers for the reminder on the winmm.dll file, Tosh did remind me to either delete or update it and I completely forgot, will update the installer/archive accordingly for that.

Yes I removed the joystick setup, during testing I tried the game with a few controllers to see if it was worth keeping in but after attempting to tweak the settings to work with both Xbox 360/Xbox One and directinput PS3 controllers, as soon as I got it into as good a compatible state as I could I just removed the settings to avoid confusion.

I never fiddled with the pre-set controller layouts, assuming people would just set up their own anyway.

I'm not sure if there is winmm.dll, which work on all version of Windows.

The older one working on XP (and probably on some later Windows too), but probably doesn't on Windows 10 (reported, but usually people using two wrappers at same time, so can't say exactly which one / or both is / are the reason of crash - not tested by me).

I think that new version is compiled with new compilator, which drop the support for older Windows (I'm also not sure if this work with any Windows below 10) / and / or old hardware (I'm not sure what is critical software and / or hardware).

I think there are two ways - GOG should recompile latest wrapper with older compiler (I hope it will work with Windows 10), or you need to include optional, older version (I think to add such option in my C1 tool).

I know MS dropped the support for XP, but since older systems are still in use and original C2 is for even older Windows, I think it should be supported out of a box. For example it's cool to setup network on Virtual Box under XP (which is available for free now, but there is a problem with activation under non Windows 7 systems - it can be run even on Linux), which doesn't require as much memory / power as newer systems, which may be critical if we want to run few instances of the virtual machines.

For the keyboard, as game prevent keys to be reused and some functions are not available from in game setup, I think including predefined WSAD and arrows key-bindings (which need to use external tool to set) is good idea. In CKB I have included such predefined key bindings, which if you like, you can try and customize.

For the joysticks/pads I like the analog control, but when "joystick" is not enabled, analog stick behave like buttons.

The solution to the winmm.dll issue would be to include an additional folder that contains both versions, one that works with XP and one that works with newer operating systems, just keep the winmm.dll that's present in the game by default the one that works with newer operating systems, just for convenience.
